Dow Jones06-30

0943 GMT - Investors lower their expectations of the Bank of England increasing interest rates in 2026 as oil prices fall and inflation concerns ease. "For now, cheaper crude is a clear macro positive, easing headline inflation pressure across importers," Tickmill Group's Patrick Munnelly says in a note. Investors currently price in a total of 20 basis points of BOE rate rises in 2026, 6 basis points down from a week ago, LSEG data show. (miriam.mukuru@wsj.com)
